I prefer NASB for reading and memorizing scriptures. Also, NKJ is a favorite.

I can't stand translations that stray too far from the original texts (like NIV, NCV, etc) in order to make things 'easier to understand'. I think in too many cases they draw inaccurate conclusions or over-simplify things. I also can't stand paraphrases or translations that don't capitalize Him when they're referring to God.

personally I favor the KJV because it is almost poetic. It is the closest translation to be music in writing than any other.

I'm a artsy kind of person sometimes Very happy

My REAL favourite is “The Holy Book of The Pink Hippo” But when it comes to the Bible it has to be the KJ
